Chiefs' Johnson could be meeting with Goodell soon


Trouble has found Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson with unwanted regularity lately. And it may get worse for the former Pro Bowl back. Roger Goodell could soon be meeting with Johnson and disciplinary action appears a certainty.

Johnson, who has been accused of several instances of off-field misconduct including threatening a woman and spitting in her face, has been summoned to New York to meet with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting.

Frequently, when an NFL player is called in to meet with Goodell, a suspension follows. That was the case for, among others, Adam "Pacman" Jones, Chris Henry, Tank Johnson and Brandon Marshall. It's not clear yet whether Johnson will also get a suspension, or whether Goodell will determine that the discipline already handed down by the team is sufficient.

For Johnson, a league suspension could be costly: Schefter reports that if Johnson is suspended, the Chiefs could decline to pay $5.5 million worth of bonuses that were referred to as "guaranteed" when he signed his contract but that haven't yet been paid.

I thought they were meeting Tuesday...

Awesome.

Culpepper

Yep, sign him up.

When Pigpen is beaten stupid here in a few weeks we'll weed someone respectable. Hell, even after today I'd still prefer Culpepper in there...
